RAMPs (receptor activity-modifying proteins) were discovered in 1998 as accessory proteins needed to the functionnal activity of CGRP (colcitonin gene-related peptide) receptors. Three RAMPs generated by three different genes are known in human, rat and mice. The coding sequences of such genes are described, but as yet, regulation sequences are unknown. RAMPs interact with GPCR (G protein-coupled receptors) of class II. In the case of the calcitonin/CGRP peptide family, RAMPs determine the functionnal specificity of the receptor, glycosylate and translocate the receptor to the cell surface. CGRP receptors are observed in presence of the RAMP1/calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), but the association of RAMP2 or RAMP3 with CRLR generates an adrenomedullin receptor. The calcitonin receptor (CTR) is translocated alone to the cell surface, but interactions of RAMPs with CTR forms amylin receptors. If RAMPs can interact with glucagon, parathyroid hormone and VIP/PACAP (vasoactive intestinal peptide/pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (VPACR1)) receptors, the functionnal specificity of these receptors remains unaltered. However, the complex VPACR1/RAMP2 enhances specifically the phosphoinoside signaling pathway.
